Typically, action films have a wide broad audience from older adults and elders from 50+ for the film “Las Vegas” to teenagers and young adults between the ages of 16-25 in the Batman films. Audiences tend to have the demographics of working class to upper class, this could be as the psychographics of the working to upper class tend to be aspirers, they aspire to have the lifestyle the characters have including all the gadgets and wealth further more they may use this as a distraction from daily life and a way to escape into media. The gender I would say is the majority male this Is because most protagonists within action films are men with a classy sophisticated lifestyle that are extremely muscular and masculine, they usually show lack of feelings towards killing as this makes them appear possibly weak and vulnerable, this may appeal to men as they may aspire to be like them as mentioned previously however a second audience may be females as they may be attracted to the male character used furthermore may find the plot exciting and thrilling. As mentioned previously, the ages of the audience is dependant on the film however I believe action is mainly aimed at younger adults as they mind find the violence and fast paced action entertaining and exciting.. The ethnicity of the audience chosen may vary as there are a lot of actors and actresses of mutli-ethnic background which appeals to a variation for example Will smith in “I am legend” may appeal to a African American audience.
